I am 3 days post op and I have started noticing swelling just today. I think this may be normal and it should go down over the next week!! I hope!!! I also had my abdomen done. Very Happy with the results!

I had Smart Lipo done on my abdomen, Thursday 2/26. I am 3 days post-op and the results are great. I was awake during the procedure and it was not bad at all. I had a few tinges of pain here and there. I only took 1 pain pill and that was the night after the procedure. I was a little sick from the meds that I had taken prior to the procedure and slept all afternoon and night the first night. I had bad drainage and bleeding that soaked my dressings twice. As of yesterday, no more bandage. The incisions are very very small. I hardly even notice them. I do not have any bruising and didn't notice much swelling until this morning. Is this normal and how long does it last? I rested a lot the last 2 days, but it was a little difficult with a 2 year old that didn't understand that I couldn't pick her up. Otherwise, I think everything went great and I am very pleased with the results!! I had several friends that had this done and most told me that I would feel like I had done lots of sit-ups. I have to say that the pain was more than just that. Today,,it does feel like that. No, doesn't feel like I have been hit by a train. A little rest is all it takes.
